Fits great under stock hood. Had to cut a small bit of the under-bracing of the hood for the radiator cap though 2 inches X 2 inches. Its VERY snug against the back of the firewall but I wanted that for handling purposes. That is the aluminum LS1 also to cut down on weight further, again for handling. The outside of the car is still in its $300 condition but the interior is being re-upholstered.
I still need a decent intake setup on it also if anyone knows a decent place. I love rx7's and didnt want to see this one hit the junkyard. I also wanted to build a car I will keep for the rest of my life. The last owner blew the tranny and was trashing it.
Anyway, it makes for a really nice sleeper. Most of the people who hear it think its an old 5.0 etc without mods because its a fairly quiet v8 in its current setup.
For now its plenty "rocket". Who knows, if I get bored maybe I will toss on some induction

Hey Eriks85Rx7 where you get those tires? looking nice.
Damn Pyro2, That is insane, please post more pictures of your car and information of that kind of project. I am curious about your car set up... it looks like a killer machine!

My GSL-SE (VG Beige) Stock 160k
Future plans: Keep it running.
Project GSL (Formula White) In progress...
Future plans: Make it run
Note: A good swap forum is torquecentral.com. I won't quote figures but I do recommend you look them up if you're interested.
Edit: Haha, this is the "old 5.0" Pyro is talking about.

fc3s gxl, the radiator is a custom job built by Bow Tie Racing in South Australia.
Autopaul, if you are talking about my wheels they are 16 inch, I think they suit the car as well.
Cheers Sue
